"...Who?"
Ophis was not too panicked by the voice that suddenly appeared in her mind.
Rather, in this dimensional gap where there was no air, if a voice that she could really hear suddenly appeared, it would be really terrifying.
After a brief pause, Ophis quickly responded in her mind.
[Hmm? Ah, we... if you use words you can understand, something like a golden finger? ]
"...Golden finger?"
This term made Ophis frown, thinking that it did not exist... probably did not exist.
In other words... something like a so-called system?
Carefully rummaging through the knowledge in his heart, Ophis thought quickly.
According to this knowledge, the so-called golden fingers can be classified into several categories───
There is the X Lu style of heaven-sent benefits.
There is the X point style of conspiracy theories.
There are also various types such as having a big boss behind, carrying an important mission, doing well in the previous life, and having an inexplicably thick background.
In short, except for the first one, they are all troubles.
Unfortunately, the first one is usually the least likely.
If Ophis was just an ordinary newbie, she might have to accept this kind of thing.
However───
Ouroboros, this is the name of Ophis's race, and this race is also the pinnacle of fantasy beasts──one of the pure-blooded dragon species, with the meanings and concepts of immortality, infinity, reincarnation, perfection, etc. The Ouroboros shadow has appeared in many myths, among which the most famous one is Jörmungandr that surrounds the world.
So, as an authentic pure-blooded dragon species, such a golden finger is unnecessary for her.
After all, even the original version of her could fight to be the second strongest in the world. Even if she can't be better now, she won't be worse.
In this case, there is no reason to bear an inexplicable thing.
The trouble is that it is really hard to get rid of this kind of thing. If you are not careful, you will die inexplicably.
And...
Ophis keenly discovered something.
"The words I can understand... In other words, you who said this sentence know me very well?"
Ophis is not a human, but a rare pure-blooded dragon species. In such a group that may not meet a similar one in millions of years, in terms of values, knowledge reserves, and thinking patterns, it is far inferior to the synchronization of humans.
Even humans, who live in groups and learn from each other, can derive so many different kinds of thinking and values. It is conceivable how different the thoughts of dragon species are.
So it is meaningless to understand this newly born little Ophis from the perspective of humans, and there is no angle to cut in from the perspective of dragons.
In this case, she could still say something like "words that she could understand", which meant that she must have some kind of understanding of her.
Considering the origin of the word "Golden Finger"...
"Golden Finger sister, do you understand that "it"?"
Or, she hoped so.
After all, if...
['It'? It's an interesting name... Sister Goldfinger is also an interesting name. ]
The inner voice seemed to be interested.
[How should I put it... I can't say I understand it, but I can probably guess what knowledge it has... Don't worry, I can't see into your heart, and my spiritual ability is not my specialty. ]
"..."
In the current situation, it's useless for Ophis to not believe it.
"So, what exactly is that 'it'..."
Try to get more information, Ophis asked again.
If she was transformed from 'it' in some form...
Theoretically, this is not a comfortable thing, after all, the memory has been washed away.
And this existence in the heart is likely to be the mastermind.
Although thinking so, Ophis really can't be angry about this matter.
Now she is a dragon, and she doesn't really care about the situation of 'it' as a human.
More, it's curiosity.
And, be alert to the fact that the other party may be able to easily change an existing memory.
But before he finished speaking, the inner voice interrupted Ophis's question.
[No comment~~ Or this is not a very important question for you, even if it comes, it will only be classified as completely unimportant information and thrown into the pile, right? ]
Before Ophis could react, the other party continued to speak.
[You just need to know that you are not 'it', and you are not the cute dragon in 'it's' knowledge. You are the current Ophis, that's all. By the way, your memory problem is indeed caused by me. So many redundant memories are meaningless, but don't worry, I changed the memory when I was 'it', and I can't change your memory as Ophis. After all, the level is completely different. ]
At this time, Ophis thought that she should be angry because her memory was played with, but the reason was the same as before. She really couldn't have much emotional fluctuations, and now she has more things to care about.
"Gold Finger Sister, is there really no way to peek into my heart?"
Finally, Ophis couldn't help asking.
[Well...it's natural for you to have such thoughts, but nothing I said was a lie.]
The inner voice seemed to answer indifferently.
[It's just that even if the memory is erased, the personality of 'it' has indeed been integrated into your soul, and your own personality is too simple...]
Many people think that the memory carries the personality, but in fact the soul also accounts for a considerable proportion.
For details, you can refer to Naruto-kun, who treated Konoha like his first love even though Konoha abused me thousands of times.
If Sasuke was replaced, Konoha would probably be torn apart more than a dozen times.
In short...
"Sure enough... Sister Goldfinger knows that 'it' very well."
As soon as the question was asked, Ophis clearly felt that the other party's emotional fluctuations in his heart had a moment of depression...
[It's not correct to say this, but just treat it as it is. ]
Unlike the previous briskness, this answer seemed to carry a deeper emotion.
Out of intuition, Ophis did not delve into this issue.
"You haven't said yet... Sister Goldfinger, what abilities do you have?"
Ophis asked directly after changing the subject.
In her heart, there was always a feeling of "this existence is worth believing" flowing in her heart...
Of course, she didn't believe it directly, but she didn't reject it as much as before.
Anyway, having functions is one thing, and whether she wants to use it is another...
[Oh! Finally got to the point! ? My abilities, don't scare me when I tell you~~]
"..."
Ophis was silent.
In her opinion, the abilities of this kind of thing are at most like that.
It's nothing more than the four swords of Zhuxian being sold off, Aunt Yakumo summoning at will, free verification of European and African bloodlines, changing the race system at will, and at worst, letting people control the origin of time and space at will...
[Although I can only roughly guess what you are thinking, I can tell you very clearly...]
The voice in my mind appeared again.
[I probably don't have any of the abilities you think of~~]
After a half-second pause, the voice suddenly burst out again.
[Hahahaha, what do you think, do you want to hit someone? Is there a mmp that you can't say? Do you really want to throw me out? I just want to see you trying to bite me but failing~~ After all, I never said I was the type of system, hahahahahaha…]
Ophis's giant snake head tilted.
...To be honest, she didn't have any expectations for this thing, so naturally she couldn't say she was disappointed.
It's just that this unknown individual was too crazy...
Besides...the other party had already said the possible reaction, what else could she do?
No, if it was someone else, he would probably say it directly...
───MDZZ
Finally...
So, are the questions about the golden fingers above just the author's word count?
Ophis continued to think silently.
